Although a lavish and loving adaptation of a fantasy classic, this version of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe still comes up short in many departments. But, most glaringly of all, it fails to push the appropriately magical buttons, leaving the experience unfulfilling and a tad too hollow for such a spectacular saga. The AV quality scores high for the wonderful DTS track, but the picture leaves a little bit to be desired, though I suspect that this has more to do with Adamsons photographic choices than any real fault of the films transfer to disc.
But this release cannot fail to gain top marks for the extras which really do their best to transport you to a magical place. Immersive, comprehensive and fully entertaining, the background to the film and the original author makes me wish that I loved both this, and Lewiss work a whole lot more than I do.
For fans this is essential. For DVD buffs this is still very highly recommended indeed. Epic extras and a fluff-filled film. Top Christmas present, though.
